Judging from his contest with Sullivan he ought to be an expert in dodging the strong arm of the law. — TowA sees in the expansion of her banking business for the past two years the promise of growth and develonment of all industries in the state. CUDA hns established a sigral ser- vice, ard it isto be hoped that it will be of more signal service to her than our own hus been to the United States. THE Cass county Tascott turns out to * be a stupid fabrication. Our enterpris- ing contemporaries are altogether too anxious to attract attention by sensa- tional fakes. — THE fire fighters of the country as- semble at Omaha early next month, and there is little question but that the chiefs of fire departments will be most hospitibly entertained by our civizens. THE distressing death of Louis An- derson by being run over by a motor train on Sherman avenue demands a much more searching investigation into the cause than the coroner’s inquest developed. — PRUDENT people who wish to go abroad are shunning the ‘‘Ocean Grey- hounds,” and are seeking passage on ships in which the perils of racing are not added to the ordinary risks and perils of a sea voyage. THE old Libby prison building which was recently removed piecemeal from Richmond, Va., to Chicago, is about re- constructed on 1ts new location. Every- thing is there as it used to be except the Confed hard tack snd mouldy sow- belly. — MosT of the talk about a scarcity of money just now seems to come from bond-holders who wish to unload to the government at a big price. No danger of a panic exists, but if there was the administration would use every effort to avert it. — THE burning of Swift’s packing house in Kansas City Sunday morning will at least prove of temporary benefit to South Omaha, where Swift hus large interests. Until he can rebuild at Kausas City his Omaha house will be used to fill orders for both places. I¥ THE republicans of the Second dis- trict must nominate a man for congress who bears the B, & M. brand, they ought to find some man of brains, ability and physical force enough to assert himself. An Indian in front of a to- baceo store will hardly satisfy the bal- ance of the state, E——— THE running of electric motor trains through the streets of this city at a speed varying from ten to fifteen miles an hour is dangerous and should not be permitted. The council haa full power to regulate the time and manner of op- perating such street cars within the city and+wan ordinance to that effect should be passed at once. — Tue Atlanta Consttution states that for the first time since 1859 Georgia bas this year raised corn enough to supply local wants and have a surplus of about a million bushels. When south- orn farmers learn the proper econom- dcal lessons which constitute the stock in trade of the good husbandmen, there is no reason why the South should not be prosperous. ALHE jute trust which defied congress to limit its powers, and was bent on squeezing the southern cotton planter for all he was worth, is not likely to re- peat its tyranny again. The south is wrought up to a high piteh of indigna- tion agaiust the bagging trust, and the southern planters have taken vigorous measures to protect thelr interésts in the luture, Laws have been enacted in many of the southern states for the purpose of checking the exactions, and it is highly probable that the attention of congress will be directed to the evil. The congressional committee appointed to investigate the operations of the jute trust would fail in its duty if it did not report the underhand methods adopted to corner the jute market. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1880 THE SAME OLD SONG. The representative of the Omaha World-Herald at Lineoln has interviewed Secretary of State Laws concerning the objections raised by Tur BEE to his candidacy for the congressional vacancy in the Second district. When asked whether he had anything to say in re- ply, Mr. Laws thought little was neces- sary to be said. “The attitude of Tne Ber toward promi- nent republicans,” said Mr, Laws, ‘is well known, No public man is safe from its attacks, and as the public understands its policy well and is familiar with the pians and schemes of the editor, it can do little e TR T S A A TEN) As to the charge of being a railroad tool he says that is saold and threadbare that no one need pay any attention to it. Every man is a railroad man who is not continually howling about the extortions of corporations and is willing to give even a railrond com- pany justice and a fair show. This is the same old song which every corporation politician from Church Howe down to Vandervoort has been singing for the last twelve years. Will Mr. Laws name any public man who has an honorable record and has not betrayed the people whom THE BEE has wantonly attacked? Will he point out among the men who have been assailed by THE BEE any man who did not deserve to be dencunced? What does he mean by his reference to the “well-known policy of Tug BE&” and ‘““the plans and schemes of its editor?” Docs he want to be understood to say that Tite BEE has any policy at vari- ance with the public interest, or the good of the party? Does he mean to in- sinuate that the editor of THE BEE has any design to profit from the candidacy of any particu'ar aspirant, or has any scheme by which ‘foe BEE is t secure patronage? Has Mr. Laws or any otherstate officer, congressman or senator ever been asked to contribute one dollar, directly orindirectly, to the support of THE BEE? Perhaps Mr. Laws believes all the vile slanders and exploded fabrications about the editor of THE BEE that have been the stock in trade of railroad poli- ticians, He cannot, however, pretend with any decency that he is any- thing else politically than the mere ereature of railroad influence. This charge may be very threadbare, just as stubborn facts often are. Has Mr. Laws forgotten the confidence game he played on the people less than twelve months ago? Is his mind 80 feeble that he does not remember the game he played just before the last state convention when, asa member of the railvoad commission, he voted to reduce freight rates, and after the state con- vention had heartily endorsed his course turned over and voted that the reduc- tion be indefinitely postponed? A man need not be an enemy of railroads to condemn such duplicity. But there are none so blind as those who will not see. Mr. Laws and those who, like him. owe their elevation in political life to their subserviency to railroad bosses, never will admit that the republican party of Nebraska has been demoralized by the pernicious interference of corporation politicians. The condition of the party in Ne- braska in this respect has afforded a text for unfavorable comment in remote sections of the country. In proof of this we only need quote the following editorial from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican: ‘“Chere is a vacancy in the Second con- gressional distriov of Nobraska, caused by the deuth of James Laird. We refrained in our obituary notice of him to state his atti- tude toward railroad legislation. For six years he virtually sat in congress as the at- torney of the Chicago, Burllagton & Quincy railrond. The Second district has beon for years cousidered the political preserve of that thoroughly ramified corporation. Now, no member of the republican party of Ne- braska would seriously enter the canvass for that distriet without first being willing to make himself sohd with the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy. Unless the advances of other roads in that district have procured a more healthy situation, the next member will be mortgaged upon railroad matters just as Mr, Laird was. Will any one tell us how statesmen can be grown in Nebraska under such limitations?"” I'his is plain talk from a source that cannot be charged with malice or sel- fish designs. It is not inspired by en- mity to railroads, but simply poiuts out the danger to free institutions by the corporate control of the national legis- lature. ‘The railroad politicians of the Second district may resent this sort of talk, but the people who do not depend upon tho railroads for their existence must feel keenly the disgrace thau attaches to Nebraska when she is advertised asa railroad preserve and her congressmen as mere dummies doing the bidding of masters who do not even live in Ne- braska. E——— A NEW COMPLICATION. ‘When congreés resumes consideration of the subject of tariff revision it will be confronted by a new complication. This will be found in the attitude of the iron manufacturers of New England. No circumstance in the economic his- tory of recent years has been more sig- nificant than the movement of these manufacturers to obtain relief for their declining and unprofitable industries by the abolition of duties on the raw ma- terial, It is an unqualified confes- gsion, by men who have hitherto been among the most uncom- promising supvorters of protection, that that policy, as applied to raw materials, is not only no longer helpful to the iron interests of New England, but that if continued it must result in the complete destruction of those interests. The im- portance and force of this movement is in the fact that it is not confined toa few manufacturers and to special locali- tles, but is general. The petition which will acauaint congress with the require- ments and demands of the iron industries of New England has received the signatures of a large majority of the manufac- turers of that section, and there will be very few of them not represented when it goes to congress. The decline of the iron industries of New England has been going on for several years, and has been rapid since the application of the cheaper fuel sup- plied by natural gas to the similar in- dustries of Pennsylvania, while that state also en joys other advautages. The development of Iron Industries in the south must also have had an effect upon those of New England, as it has upon other sections. Having to control these unfavorable conditions to their pros- perity and progress, the iron interests of New England have found the addi- tional burden of high duties on raw ma- terials—coal and iron ore—to be un- bearable, and steadily the industries have declined, until at this time the business does not amount to fifty per cont of what it was ten years ago. Establishments which a few years ago were among the largest in the countey have closed altogether, while others are doing but one- half or one-third of the business in the years of their highest prosperity. Numerous instances are givenof great works which formerly did animmense business that are now closed, and very few of those in opsration are making any money. In a word, every branch of the iron industries of New Sngland is being unprofitably operated, except a few establishments that pro- duce specialties, and the chief reason which the manufacturers give for this stato of affairs is the tariff on raw mate- rials. What the New England manufa ctur- ers propose to ask ot congress is, that iron - ore, coal and coko shall be put upon the free list, as thoy were before, and that the duty upon pig iron and scrap iron and scrap steel be restored to the ante-bellum rate of twenty-four per cent ad valorem. Governor Ames, of Massachusetts, him- self an extonsive manufacturer and in sympathy with this movement, said re- garding 1t that *‘it is not a question of politics, it isa question of life or death.” The very large majority of thess manu- facturers are republicans, and they are moving for free raw material, as Gov- ernor Ames explainad, because if they do not secure this relief they feel that theirindustries will bs doomed for the sake of the prosparity of Penn- sylvania, or at best can but prolong a miserable existence. With the iron manufacturers of New England solidly demanding rvaw materials in order to save their interests from ruin, and many of the woolen manufacturers ask- ing for free wool, the attitude of the representatives of that section in the next congross on tarilf revision will be of surpassing interest to the country, und the question of the possible genoral effect of this New Euvgland movement upon the readjustmeut of the revenue policy of the government becomes one of very great importance. LET Il HALT Al OMAHA. As now arcanged, the tour of the delegates to the international American congress will not extend farther. west than Omaha. It may be found e pedient, however, to change this rangement in order to satisfy the de- mands of farther western poiuts which desire to entertain the distinguished visitors. Denver, for example, is dis- posed to antagonize the plan of termin- ating the tour at Omaha, the Republic- an of that city observing that ‘‘to turn back at Omaha woull give the visitors the impression that west of Omaha there is nothing to be seen,” and that paper calls upon the chambor of commerce to protest against the adontion of a pro- gramme which would ignore Denver. San Francisco may be expected to put ina demand for recognition, and with much better claim than the Colorado capital, while doubtless there are sev- eral other cities which would like to be honored with a visit. But obviously, if all the time of the delogates is not to be cousumed in travel there must be a reasonable limit to thelr tour, and it seems to us the proposed arrangement of the ' representa- tive of the state deparyment is judi- cious. 1t will keep the visitors jour- neying more than a month, and the country to be traversed will give them a very thorough impression of both the manufacturing and agricultural re- sources of the United States, which are the chief matters of interest to them, To prolong the tour and delay the moeting of the congress is not desira- ble, as it is to be presumod the time of some of the delegates is limited, and besides we should wear the visitors out by undertaking to show them all the wonderful vhings of this great country, among which the attractions of Denver are unquestionably to be inciuded, Let the procession halt in its westward march at Omaha. JOBBERY UNDER COVER. There is a good deal of method 1n the madness which the county commission- ers exhibit at their sessions. While they are fuming and roaring at each other big jobs are pulled through under cover of the fire, Just now the tax- payers of Douglas county care very lit- tleabout the feud between Anderson and O’Keeffe, but they are anxiously wait- ing for the commissioners to take steps to recover the money fraudulontly taken out of the treasury by the grading con- tractors, If it be true that there has been a forgery committed in the change of the rate from twenty-five to thirty- five cents a yard, the contractor can be made to disgorge the overcharge. If it be not true that there has been a forgery the commissioners stand self- convicted of aiding and abetting a gi- gantic swindle, Thisis not all. The question s, how did it come that the contractor was allowed pay for seven- teen thousand yards more than the sur- veyoe's estimates called for. Such transactions cannot be allowed to pass by in silenc 'HER SQUARE PEG. The board of education has again managed to insert a square pegintoa round hole. They have elected ILee Estelle to act as the board’s attorney for the coming year at a galary of five hundred dollars. Mr, Estelle is a fair police court lawyer, He may even be above the average in conducting a crim- inal case in the district court. But when it comes w0 the very questions upon which the board nceds advice Mr. Estelie is not known to have any experienge above the average of law students. The questions involved in the legality of bond propositions and the in- tricate constitutional problems with which the attorney of the board has to deal are beyond Mr., Kstelle’s depth. When the board strikes any legal snag it will have to employ a lawyer. This is known to every member of the board. Then why was Estelle olectod? Simply because the partisan strikers in the board want to pay off their political debts and expect Istelle toturn in and help to pack the primaries in their interest next month. And yet we have been told time and again that the school board is not in politics. THE laws against combines and trusts in the constitutions of the two Dakotas are said to be the concentrated essence of all the best economic philosophy in the statutes of other states. Trusts are hit squarely between the eyes. Fran- chises of corporations and associations are void where the object of such asso- ciations is to conirol the price of any commodity or the cost of exchange or transportation. Railronds are prohib- 1ted from owning parallel or competing lines, from consolidating their stock, property or franchises. The legisla- tures are vested with power to enact laws regulating and controiling the rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight by rail and aispatches by wire. These are excel- lent constitutional provisions but they may remain a dead letter for years. The question is, will men be clected to the logislature who will fearlessly eonact laws to enforce the constitutional pro- visions? THE detention of a guest of the Pax- ton hotel on the suspicion of having in his possession counterfeit money while wholly without foundation has, never- theless, its palliating circamstances. The arrest was made by the police at the instance of a merchant and it was certainly their duty to take notice of the complaint. There was no necessity however of the police acting in an arbitrary manner. The gentleman made a straightforward explanation, and could have established his-identity and business relations through the hotel clerk without the humiliation of being dragged to the police station. An ounce of common sense would be worth a pound of bull-headedness on such oce: sion, and the case in question is a fair iliustration of the lack of discretion of the average policeman.
